    Did anyone ever really think that McCoist would not be made to pay for giving his votes to the fans in East Kilbride? McCoist as good as nailed his colours to the mast of the "HMS Getthisshowerofspivstaefuck" and now it looks like they've started laying the plank for him to walk. With this attack on the one real Rangers man left, we are now in a battle for the very soul of the club. If these rats are able to force Ally out of Ibrox (and let's forget McCoist the manager for the moment; we're talking about McCoist the Rangers legend here) then we have some very, very black days ahead of us.

    comic sans - a font so fucking awful that it was even disowned by the guy who actually designed it

    Your suspicion is warranted and understandable, but I think there's a difference this time - and I suspect your gut feeling tells you that, too, even if you're not yet willing to admit it. It's not just what this guy says, but how he says it. But, as you say, let's wait to see if/when words turn into deeds before we get too excited.

    Wallace, from what I've heard and read, seems to be the real deal. Everything he said in that interview sounded 'right'; no playing to the gallery, no sugar-coating and returning repeatedly to the need to get us back (back??) to sustainability. I'm hoping that, as a guy who it seems can play a long game, he has marked the cards of Stockbridge and Irvine and they will be dealt when the time is right. One he produces results and has widespread fan/investor trust and support he can make his move from position of strength.

    I don't know if I'd relegate stockbridge/irvine to being a 'sideshow'. Sure, the things you mention, scouting etc, are a higher priority and more important, but the very presence of those two prevents our club from healing and moving on. The rehabilitiation express won't truly leave the station until these two are out the door.

    I wasn't suggesting you were
  7. The Real PapaBear
    Quite so. Anybody who allows their political ideology to be determined by a football club is, quite frankly, an idiot whose every utterance on matters political can be safely ignored.

    ??? Had a look at Downing Street recently, bud? Thatcherism is alive and kicking, thank you very much.

    Lovely writing Andy. I think you capture how many, if not most, of us feel at times.

    I would suggest that if one has a problem with the Scottish Labour Party and/or GCC, - and who amonst us doesn't? - then the place to register that discontent is at the ballot box or in the street, not in the Govan stand. Personally, my disdain for the Scottish Labour Party is matched only by my disdain for the tories and only exceeded by my contempt for UKIP and their closet fascist followers - but I don't see how exhibiting that political viewpoint at Ibrox, or whilst cloaked in a Rangers scarf helps our club. As a support we don't speak with a political voice which is much different from the national picture - as political exchanges on this board have shown - so to attempt to align the club or support with one political party or against one political party would only serve to weaken and divide us. By all means, go after corruption; by all means expose cronyism and dishonesty, as you yourself have (admirably) done - but any attempt to associate the club with an anti-Labour agenda would not do Rangers any favours. Unless, that is, you are now advocating a vote for the SNP and Independence, in which case ignore all of the above and carry on with the good work

    Don't. Not even in jest. have you thought about what happens if Ally reads Gersnet?
  13. The Real PapaBear
    chin up, bud. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
  14. The Real PapaBear
    Platini? you mean Zidane, surely? Platini was an excellent player for sure - but all time great?
  15. The Real PapaBear
    on the plus side we'd have two very enthusiastic attacking midfielders
  16. The Real PapaBear
    sometimes I just fucking despair, I really do. The political leader of a country sends a letter congratulating the team which won that country's league and suddenly this is a sign that he is a closet Tim who did nothing to help us in our hour of need who is damned by association with colleagues who support celtic? What is it about the prospect of indpendence and finally acting like a grown up country which makes some posters here revert to such ludicrous hyperbole?
  17. The Real PapaBear
    give me one racist thing Salmond or *any* SNP minister has ever said against the English.
  18. The Real PapaBear
    excellent news. £6m for an injury prone player they don't need to win the spl and who isn't good enough to make any impact in the CL. Can we have more of the same, Neily?

    very, very moving. I often think the Ibrox Disaster is the "forgotten" disaster because of the fact that it a) wasn't televised and b) happened at the tail end of the post WW2 era where you "just got on with things". so we didn't have the public outpouring of grief and emotion that we got with Hillsborough, Bradford or Heysel. Forgotten, I hasten to add, not by us but by the wider public. A cynical part of me also can't help wondering if the diaster had happened in the East End, whether the city of Glasgow wouldn't have spent more time and resources on a memorial for it.
  20. The Real PapaBear
    Sone Aluko. Class act. Welcome back at Ibrox any time, mate.

    He lost his job after forwarding an e-mail he had received, in which a sardonic link was made between the Catholic church and child abuse. This of course resulted in 'outrage' from the Catholic church and a man considered by FIFA to be one of the world's top officials was forced to resign. Coincidently Dallas was the referee at the 1999 shame game at parkhead where 3 celtic players were sent off, celtic fans invaded the field, celtic fans hurled coins and other missiles at officials and Rangers players - for all of which Dallas was held responsible by Celtic FC. Coincidently Dallas was the subject of a pyschological report commissioned by, wait for it....Celtic FC Coincidently Dallas' home was attacked by fans of, you guessed it.... Celtic FC Coinicidently dallas was a leading figure in the events surrounding the referees strike caused by the disreputable behaviour of, ah, c'mon this is too easy.... Celtic FC One can't help wondering about the level of outrage expressed by the Catholic church about the forwarding of a satirical e-mail by a man with no public role nor any public influence. One can't help wondering why the Catholic church was only outraged by Dallas forwarding this e-mail and not by the tens of thousands of other people who will have received and forwarded it. One can't help wondering why the Catholic church failed to show similar outrage, at the decades of criminality, child abuse and paedophilia perpetrated by its priests.

    ok, let's skip over your disrespect for a team of honest, hard-working, motivated guys who are on a good unbeaten run, and answer the first question. Yes, I would expect any manager to tell his players to run down the clock as far into the opposition half as possible. McCoist was absolutely correct to tell them to do that; He is not responsible for one of his players being unable to do the job properly and fannying about rather than punting the ball into row Z. Neither is he responsible for the chimpanzee's tea party of an effort that was our defense in the last minute. Oh? What's that? He *is* responsible I hear you say? Well, in that case he is also responsible for the 0.5 goals per game conceded and the 4 goals per game scored. As for beating "22 amateurs in a row". Remember that every game for the teams we are playing is the biggest game of their year and perhaps careers. Why don't you compare the records of Us and Celtic Aberdeen or Hearts for the last 16 times they have player third tier opposition? Your comment about his wages is as disrespectful and ill-considered as the rest of your post. "Tactical genius", "get by" "pocketed"? You want to have a word with yourself mate.
  23. The Real PapaBear
    I believe you should be ashamed of that post.
  24. The Real PapaBear
    Ahh, Rangers fans. Nothing quite like them. Only Valley Girls from the wealthiest Los Angeles suburbs could give us a challenge in the whining, self-pitying, discontentment stakes. We've won every game up until this point, scoring an average of four goals while doing so. Reason to be cheerful? Well, yes, for any fans on earth other than Rangers fans. McCoist it would seem is responsible for Rangers losing a last minute equaliser in the 16th game of the season but not for the 60 goals we have scored up until this point? How does that work? .
  25. The Real PapaBear
    true dat - but look at it this way; by the law of averages we've got to get somebody whose not a spiv at some point. If Wallace ain't it, then I can see Admin 2 heading our way.
